Movie theater viewing is superior to home viewing due to the communal experience and larger than life screens and sound.
While many of us have had bad theater experiences, many of us have also had bad days, experienced bad drives, bad vacations, bad trips, bad flights, terrible daily commutes, burned food we’re cooking, had a bad relationship, etc. ad infinitum.
Bad experiences in movie theaters are misses not hits. Sometimes you have a slump, too, where there are many misses in a row and to you those become a string of hits instead of misses and start to represent movie going in its entirety. It’s not true the same way you don’t have a car accident every time you drive or have a flight with a screaming child every time you fly or end up in a hotel or AirB&B full of cigarette smoke and roaches every time you stay in a hotel.
Theres a great theater near my house. Comfortable reclining and heated seats, plenty of leg space, nine screens and sounds. I watched The Batman there and I cannot imagine experiencing the movie in any other way.
I need to start going back to the theaters more. The ones near me had awesome leather seats. I could hang out there all day and watch movies if it wasn’t for the costs and need for natural light haha
In my opinion, theater movies are blurry. And I’m sure someone will come along and tell me why I’m wrong, but the 24 or 28 FPS thing needs to take a hike. Motion blur in movies is over-relied upon and looks bad on the big screen.

Prices can still be pretty bad tho

Half the problem is that people use either TV speakers or a cheap sound bar that completely ruins the experience
